This Bill Would Revive The Worst #Patents On #Software—And Human #Genes
Some politicians are proposing to make the current bad situation worse. Rather than taking the problem of patent trolling seriously, they want to encourage more bad patents, and make life easier—and more profitable—for worst patent abusers. The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act, #S2140, would be a huge gift to #patenttrolls. If #PERA passes, would allow normal human genes to be patented once again.

The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA), S. 2140 Would overturn supreme court rulings, allowing patents, on very abstract ideas. These in turn are used by patent trolls to sue anyone they can think of. it would also allow patenting of Genes in the human body.
Don't let this happen!!
